So I was trying to apply some frontline to my cat because she got fleas but I coudn't get her to stand still! So I let her play with the little plastic tip that you're supposed to break so that the liquid can come out and all of a sudden, she ate it!

I'm really worried but I'm not sure if because its not a piece of a plastic bag and it is actually hard and not soft it wont hurt the cat? Help me please!

This is worrying. Has she had any reactions? I'm concerned that she may have ingested some of the frontline along with the plastic. If that happened you should have been seeing some immediate reactions such as salivating and possibly vomiting.

If it's only the plastic, a lot depends on the size and shape and also the age (hence size) of the cat. Have you called your vet to ask? I don't think anyone here can give you instructions as to what to do, just worry along with you and hope for good news from the vet. Give them a call and let us know what they said.
